If they send out troops rashly and are overtaken by Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry and Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, the Qing Dynasty will be finished.
It can be seen that Guan Ningjun is actually very powerful.
If Guan Ning's army was dedicated to the Ming Dynasty and fought the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly, there would be no such thing as the Qing army detouring through Mongolia six times to enter the pass. There would be no situation where the rogue bandits and the Qing army would cooperate and support each other. Every time the rogue bandits were to be wiped out, the Qing army would inevitably enter the pass in large numbers.
After the Qing army was defeated, the rogue bandits once again started a prairie fire. This is how Ming Dynasty was consumed. This is also a good thing Guan Ningjun did. They are directly responsible.
From this perspective, it was unnecessary for Chongzhen to kill Yuan Chonghuan.
A disobedient army is worse than no army at all. It would be a threat to the emperor.
Chongzhen needed to deal with the entire Guan Ning army instead of killing Yuan Chonghuan. If Yuan Chonghuan is killed, this kind of private army will be extremely difficult to deal with.
He also has no money. Soldiers will work for whomever they eat and pay. This is an eternal truth. His ability to make money is not as good as Yuan Chonghuan.
Killing is a pleasure, but what to do next?
When he was dealing with Wei Zhongxian, he could be so patient and wait for the right opportunity to kill him with one blow. Why is it useless to sit firmly on the Dragon Throne?
I want to deal with this elite army that has a base and has taken root. There are still many methods. Chongzhen's problem was that he acted too hastily. He has done everything in his life too hastily, except for defeating Wei Zhongxian, which is remarkable.
If he hadn't been eager to take over Liaodong and used the wrong Yuan Chonghuan, what would have happened later.
He spent his whole life trying to fix this mistake. It is true that all the iron from nine states cannot make such a big mistake. One mistake will lead to eternal hatred.
He has made too many mistakes in his life, and he has played a good hand of cards to pieces. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, famous generals were like clouds, and loyal ministers and wise men were like crucian carp crossing the river. If Emperor Taizu were replaced, even if it was replaced by Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji would definitely not end up like this.
Even Emperor Chenghua would not be like this. At least Emperor Chenghua could recognize and employ people.
Dorgon fully agreed to Wu Sangui at that time, but just stood still. Let Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng fight. Wu Sangui kept asking for help. Even though Dorgon could see that Wu Sangui was sincerely cooperating, he did not send troops. Until Guan Ning's army was defeated across the board.
Dorgon doesn't trust anyone. What he trusts is that you didn't plot against him.
It was only at this time that he was sure that Guan Ning's army had lost the strength to attack him from behind, and then the whole army pressed forward and made a desperate move.
Dorgon is a person who never bets easily, but once he bets, he dares to bet all his wealth. The result was a huge future bet for his people.
The Qing Dynasty could only succeed because of the founding of a queen mother, a regent, and a young emperor. The key is Dorgon's ability.
When the Qing Dynasty fell, there was also a combination of a queen mother, a regent, and a young emperor. But these three people tied together are not worth a toe of Dorgon.
Historical coincidences are often stranger than any drama.
It seems that Wu Sangui was lucky. When the whole army collapsed and was defeated like a mountain, a strong wind suddenly blew.
For a time, the sky was filled with dust, and nothing could be seen in the sandstorm. He escaped calmly with his defeated troops. At this moment, the Eight Banners army suddenly rushed out of the wind and sand. One hundred thousand troops defeated Li Zicheng in one battle.
Li Banghua hesitated for a while and said, "My suggestion is to keep the enemy outside the country's gates."
As soon as this statement came out, Li Biao and Qian Longxi were overjoyed. Li Banghua is the Minister of War, and his speech has great influence.
Sun Chengzong sighed and was speechless.
The Donglin of today is no longer the Donglin of his generation back then. Now the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. At that moment, he seemed a lot more desolate and older.
"Your Majesty, ministers, a small Pinghu Fort can still withstand the Jiannu army for seven days, and it has not been breached until now. It can be seen that Jiannu's ability is mainly in field battles, and siege is not their strong point. Just like Yuan The governor is the same as in Liaodong. Use cannons to fortify the city. Wear them down. If they can't defeat them, they will naturally retreat.
Return. "
This is true, this is how Yuan Chonghuan fought in Jinzhou and Ningyuan.
Guan Ning Jin's defense line is impregnable. It has been decades since Sun Chengzong took charge of the construction, and the construction of slaves has been blocked by force. Regardless of whether this statement is correct or not, at least it is the truth. For a moment, Chongzhen was also a little shaken.
After all, he now has 150,000 soldiers in the capital, and he is still an elite soldier who has been brought to the battlefield by Yang Fan himself. They were sorted out by Sun Chengzong again. The group was reorganized. This eliminates the possibility of warlordization while retaining grassroots combat effectiveness.
Officers at mid-level and above were all selected by Chongzhen himself. Senior military officers are all distinguished. Now the Beijing camp is completely in the hands of the emperor.
Soldiers are the courage of generals and the courage of emperors.
Now his confidence is swelled. Even without Yang Fan, he is confident that he can handle everything. No matter how powerful Jiannu is, can he still be worthy of two Mongols?
Because the Jingying camp was there, Chifeng's army was not his only asset, so he dared to take risks. If he only had one large army, he would most likely listen to Sun Chengzong.
Moreover, Yang Fan was similar to him in age, not a few years older than him. He always feels in his heart that if you can do it, I can do it too.
Yang Fan's series of previous victories actually made him feel a little unhappy. Probably out of jealousy towards his peers.
He always wanted to prove that he knew the military, and he always jumped over the level and gave blind orders. In the original history, many times in the history, he failed to achieve success against the peasant army, which was all caused by him jumping over the level and giving blind orders.
"My suggestion is to use the existing forts to consume the slaves step by step. Therefore, not only the garrison of the forts cannot retreat, but also more troops must be added to the castles outside Chifeng. While Pinghu Fort has not fallen, step up the force Deployment, with Chifeng as the center, and 50,000 additional troops in the surrounding forts. The remaining 50,000 troops will be lurking and preparing. Wait until the Jiannu army is exhausted in the battle, and then suddenly attack it. It will definitely destroy the Jiannu army. ." Li Banghua said plausibly.
He had no choice but to decide on the decisive battle in Chifeng. Instead of going to Yuanbaoshan to choose the battlefield for the decisive battle.
Chongzhen was immediately tempted. What Li Banghua said is reasonable and well-founded. This is how Ningjin's victory was achieved. It makes no sense to move to Chifeng. Because there is precedent. Therefore, Chongzhen was immediately tempted.
"Master Sun, what do you think?" Chongzhen turned to Sun Chengzong and asked.
"I am old, and my energy and brain power are not what they used to be. Let the Ministry of War make the final decision on matters on the front line. I have no objection, my Majesty. I would like to ask your Majesty to send my veteran to Tongzhou to coordinate the capital camp to defend the capital."
Li Biao and Qian Longxi looked at each other and it was done.
They also believed that Chifeng and the surrounding small fortresses were enough to consume the Jiannu. After all, a city with 100,000 people defending it is not that easy to fight.
